How it is made
Northern India
The one object here you will touch every single day, which is why it is the one that ages fastest. Six months in it is noticeably darker where your thumb sits.
Weight is the whole design. A light fob gets lost in a coat; this one announces which pocket it is in.
River sand fine enough to hold an edge is packed around a pattern, then the flask is split and the pattern withdrawn.
Brass is brought to a little over a thousand degrees and poured in one continuous movement. Hesitation shows in the finished surface.
The mould is destroyed to release a single casting. Each one is made from sand that has never held this shape before.
Only what must be worked is worked. The cast surface keeps the grain of the sand it was formed against.
Sand-cast flat, then the ring hole is drilled and deburred by hand.
A four-century brass-casting tradition, recognised with a Geographical Indication for the fine river sand its moulds are packed from.
